Kansas Statutes Chapter 40. Insurance § 40-3114. Duty of employer, physician, hospital, clinic or medical institution to furnish information upon request of insurer or self-insurer; settlement of dispute by district court; copy of information to insured

(a) Whenever a request is made by a self-insurer or an insurer providing personal injury protection benefits under this act and against whom a claim has been made:

(b) In the event of any dispute regarding an insurer's or self-insurer's right to discovery of facts about an injured person's earnings or about his history, condition, treatment and dates and costs of such treatment, the insurer may petition the district court to enter an order permitting such discovery. The order may be made only on timely motion, for good cause shown and upon notice to all persons having an interest, and it shall specify the time, place, manner, conditions and scope of the discovery. In order to protect against annoyance, harassment, embarrassment or oppression, the court may enter an order refusing discovery, or specifying conditions of discovery, and may order payment of costs and expenses of the proceeding, including reasonable fees for the appearance of attorneys at the proceedings, as justice requires.

(c) The injured person shall be furnished upon demand a copy of all information obtained by the insurer or self-insurer under the provisions of this section, and shall pay a reasonable charge therefor, if so required.
